19:30 Wednesday 18th July 2007, Daum OnGameNet Starleague 3rd Place Match
Stork[gm] (P-Samsung) vs By.Flash (T-KTF)
Winner takes the desirable 3rd seed.
After a tough grueling season both players are tired, both players want to secure their spot for the next season, and you can count on it- both players will bring their top game to avoid the 4rth seed battle of survival.
Loser will face Rock on the 20th in the Star Challenge semi-finals, of which the winner will face Jaedong (after he decimates Yooi and destroys all his remains) on the 25th in the Star Challenge finals, for the 4rth seed!

As much as I'd like Flash to win, I think Stork will take it. Not only because of Stork's sweet PvT (Flash has great TvP according to his stats, too), but because Flash is too young and inexperienced. He was most likely hoping to become a royal roader, but he got crushed by GGplay on the way - so he has lost quite a bit of his morale, which in turn will greatly affect his game, as common with young talents. His lack of experience and most importantly, endurance (in a PvT bo5), may cost him the 3rd seed.
On the other hand, Stork is also tired, and demoralized after his loss against Bisu.
I'll still cheer for him though, and I hope he fucking rapes Stork
